Adding complexity to plexogenic arteriopathy.
In a landmark paper in the field of pulmonary hypertension research, Donald Heath and Jesse Edwards, in 1958, described the pulmonary vascular pathology that accompanies severe forms of pulmonary hypertension [1]. Examining lung tissue samples from patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease and patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (now called idiopathi...
متن کاملLung mast cells in plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy.
The numbers of mast cells/mm2 of lung parenchyma were counted in four controls, 15 cases of primary plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy (PPA), and 17 cases in which the arteriopathy was secondary to congenital heart disease, to determine if increased numbers occur in PPA and with what stage of disease they might be associated. Considerable accumulations of lung mast cells may occur in this diseas...
متن کاملPlexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy and liver cirrhosis.
Primary pulmonary hypertension with plexiform vascular changes in the lungs and liver cirrhosis is a rare combination of unclear pathogenesis. Until now, the real prevalence has not been known. The diagnosis of this association is usually made retrospectively. The criteria are morphological--that is, right ventricular hypertrophy and the characteristic pulmonary arterial lesions, as well as cli...
متن کاملComparison of primary plexogenic arteriopathy in adults and children. A morphometric study in 40 patients.
Pulmonary vascular changes were studied in histological sections from 15 children and 25 adults with primary plexogenic arteriopathy. The severity of medial hypertrophy and degree of vasoconstriction were measured in histological sections and there was a close correlation between these two variables in both children and adults. More advanced arterial changes, expressed as an index of pulmonary ...
متن کاملAdding complexity to the nuclear pore complex
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) span the inner and outer membranes of the nuclear envelope and mediate transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In recent years, however, NPCs and the proteins that form them, known as nucleoporins, have also been linked to nuclear events including chromatin organization and gene expression , and to physiological processes such as differentiation and aging. Two...
